LINCOLN, Neb. (AP)
—Nebraska might look back
on its record-setting
comeback win over Ohio
State as the game that
saved its season.
A week after a 31-point loss
at Wisconsin, the
Cornhuskers trailed by 21
points in the third quarter
before they won 34-27
Saturday night in the
greatest comeback in
program history.
With a challenging schedule
in their inaugural Big Ten
season, an 0-2 start in
league play would have
been devastating for the
preseason pick to win the
Legends Division.

The Huskers (5-1, 1-1),
who remained No. 14 in The
Associated Press Top 25
and a game behind
Michigan
in the division, have an
open date this week before
they go to struggling
Minnesota on Oct. 22.
Home games against No. 23
Michigan State and
Northwestern follow. Back-
to-back road games against
Penn State and No. 11
Michigan precede Iowa’s
Thanksgiving weekend visit.
“Our football team is ready
for a bye,” coach Bo Pelini
said. “I think they need a
break, mentally and
physically.”
Ohio State (3-3, 0-2)
probably would like to get
away from the stress and
strain of the season, too.

former Big Eight
commissioner.
Beebe said he was never
given a specific reason as
to why he was fired.
University of Oklahoma
President David Boren led
the push for Beebe’s
removal.
“Obviously there were some
concerns he had about the
fact that three members
had left during my tenure
and whether I could have
done anything differently or
not that was a factor,”
Beebe said. “It’s their right
to do what they did. And I
have nothing but respect
and admiration for the
institutions and a great love
for the conference and its
schools and the citizens
they represent.
“I didn’t get specifics about
what decisions I had made
or didn’t make so I could
address those specifically.
But that’s fine. It was more
nebulous. It was more, ‘We
just need to go in a
different direction.”’
The Big 12 invited TCU last
week to join the league,
which would push
membership back to 10, if
Missouri stays.
Beebe, naturally, said
Missouri would be best
served by staying.
He also said he has been in
contact with Neinas and has
offered any assistance he
can provide in helping keep
the conference together.
“The Big 12 conference is
bigger than me,” he said.
“Personally, (being fired)
hurt. It hurt to have some
really false things put out in
the press that your whole
family reads and your
colleagues read, but the
fact of the matter is when I
step back … I love this
